599: Chapter 599: Yunjing Mountain, Part 3

Xiao Weiqing defeated the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard and successfully ascended to the 3rd rank of Yunjing Mountain.

"Phew~"

He let out a slight sigh of relief and shook his throbbing head; this was a symptom of over-exhausting his Divine Soul.

Although he was very curious to see the strength of the No. 1 Cloud Mirror Guard left behind by Fan Luo.

His Source Power and Divine Soul strength were more than half depleted, making it impossible for him to engage in another major battle, so he had to give up.

He flew down from the mountaintop alone and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"That was badass, Xiao Weiqing!"

Morei shouted.

"Huh?"

As soon as Xiao Weiqing landed, he almost stumbled.

"What did you just say?"

"Badass," Morei said, "Isn't that a phrase from your hometown?"

Xiao Weiqing had black lines on his forehead, "Leibo told you that?"

"That's right. How about that? I've done some cultural export for your hometown," Leibo said with a smug look.

"Hehe~ I really thank you."

Xiao Weiqing twitched the corners of his mouth, offering a fake smile.

"Don't mention it, we're close enough that we don't need to be polite."

Leibo waved his hand.

Xiao Weiqing: "..."

Morei sighed with emotion: "Xiao Weiqing, you defeated the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard; the Sixth Heaven is going to be lively for a while now."

"What's so lively about it? The No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard was left behind by Morsius two years ago. There's nothing to be proud of in defeating it."

"Nothing to be proud of?"

"No, no, Xiao Weiqing. For two years, no member of the Sixth Heaven has defeated the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard. And you, having entered the Sixth Heaven for barely two months—or half a year if you count the time on Time Island—have already defeated the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard. It just makes you even more badass," Leibo said.

"Can you stop using the word 'badass'?"

Xiao Weiqing felt somewhat helpless. Hearing these words from the mouths of people from other civilizations always felt strange.

"Why? You are just badass. Xiao Weiqing, you don't need to be low-key in the Holy Land. Strength is everything. If you have strength, you are badass. I want to be badass in the future too," Leibo said earnestly.

Morei nodded in agreement, "That's right, let's all be badass together."

Xiao Weiqing was speechless.

"My Source Power is over-exhausted, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, without waiting for the two to respond, Xiao Weiqing took off and left.

...

...

"What? Xiao Weiqing defeated the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard?"

Just as he returned to the bamboo forest, Lotte was shocked, his face filled with disbelief. He had previously challenged the No. 8 Cloud Mirror Guard left by Xiao Weiqing, only to be miserably defeated and mocked.

He secretly made up his mind to practice the Starry Sky Ultimate Technique diligently. Once he defeated the No. 8 Cloud Mirror Guard, he would challenge Xiao Weiqing to a duel to regain his honor.

He never expected this.

Just one hour later, he received the news that Xiao Weiqing had defeated the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard and risen to the 3rd rank.

Lotte found it hard to accept. He was a Genius that his Family hadn't seen in a hundred years and had comprehended a Second-Layer Domain, yet he was inferior to a country bumpkin from the Incubation Ground.

"Teacher, Teacher~"

Hearing Lotte's call, the burly man appeared with a helpless look.

"What is it again?"

"Cultivate!"

Lotte said coldly, assuming an attacking stance.

The burly man groaned inwardly, "What a disaster."

How did he end up in this situation? If he had known when his sister said she was sending Lotte to the Holy Land, he should have found an excuse to go out.

"Hmph~"

Ignoring what the burly man was thinking, Lotte charged forward.

Bang~ Bang~~

"That's not right, come again."

Lotte was thrown away, but he climbed up and attacked again.

"That's not right, come again. Lotte, calm your mind. Your emotions are wrong. If you continue like this, you will never be able to defeat Xiao Weiqing."

...

...

On a certain mountainside.

Givens looked at the Yunjing Mountain rankings, his pupils constricting.

Then he took a deep breath and threw punches at the mountain again, each punch heavier than the last.

Suddenly.

The earth shook.

Falling rocks flew everywhere.

...

...

Phew~~

Phew~~

At a certain cliff in the Sixth Heaven.

It was pitch black, with only the howling of biting gale winds.

Inside a cave on the cliff.

Calling it a cave was a stretch; it was actually just a crevice.

It could only accommodate one person sitting cross-legged, and one could reach out and touch the terrifying gale winds outside.

Through the fluorescent light of a virtual screen, one could see a woman inside. At this moment, the woman's face was gaunt, and her red hair was messy, clearly having not been groomed for some time. This person was none other than Daphne.

"Defeated the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard?"

"This bastard, does he really have that kind of strength?"

As a battle maniac, ever since she ascended to the 3rd rank of Yunjing Mountain a year ago, she had challenged the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard every month, yet she had never won. She knew the strength and methods of the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard all too well.

She simply couldn't withstand that one move.

She didn't have a Domain, and her Special Physique was also Acquired, having only been cultivated after entering the Holy Land, so it wasn't fully mastered yet.

Throughout the last year, she had challenged it 12 times in a row. Although she made progress each time, she was still far from defeating the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard. She estimated it would take at least another year or two.

She didn't expect that this Xiao Weiqing would defeat the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard in just his second month.

"Damn it!"

"Is the gap in strength between him and me really that big?"

Daphne felt somewhat discouraged. At the time, their battle had been stopped by her teacher, and she had truly felt a breath of death.

At that moment, she had a premonition that Xiao Weiqing's strength might be greater than hers, but since neither had used their trump cards, Daphne still held a glimmer of hope that Xiao Weiqing might not be her match. Now it seemed she was clearly wrong.

In their civilization, Daphne was hailed as a Genius with more talent than Fan Luo. She had defied her Family's objections to enter the Holy Land years early.

She didn't expect this to be the result.

"Teacher, Teacher, are you there?"

A few seconds later.

A voice sounded from outside.

"Speak."

"Teacher, your Disciple knows she was wrong."

"Hmm."

"So, do you think you could let me out?"

"No."

"I beg you, Teacher, I really know I was wrong, you could just..."

"Add another month."

"Don't, don't do that, don't add it, I won't go out, it's quite nice here."

Daphne's face drooped.

...

Somewhere in the Holy Land.

In front of a vortex passage.

Two youths stood together, one with long hair, one with short hair.

"Hmm?"

The Short-haired Youth glanced at the virtual System prompt and revealed a faint smile.

"What is it, Morsius?"

"Xiao Weiqing has defeated the No. 2 Cloud Mirror Guard."

"Oh?"

Fan Luo showed a trace of surprise, "It seems his strength is even stronger than we imagined. Two years ago, your strength was not something an ordinary Genius could compare to either."

"Daphne challenged it for a whole year last year. There was a period where she pestered me every day, asking me how to deal with you. My head was about to explode from her questions."

Morsius showed a hint of a smile, "That has nothing to do with me."

"I didn't say it had anything to do with you. We are going to the Seventh Heaven at the end of the year, so I can relax a bit."

"Are you not going to worry about Daphne?"

"Her teacher has returned to the Holy Land, I don't need to worry about her anymore."

"That is a good thing."

As they spoke, the vortex in front of them showed signs of activity.

"The gate is open, let's go."

"Hmm."

On the other side.

Xiao Weiqing arrived at the Fourth Heaven of the Holy Land.

"May I ask if you are Lord Xiao Weiqing?"

A woman dressed as a secretary walked up to Xiao Weiqing and said respectfully.

"Who are you?"

The woman said: "You can just call me Daila. Manager Qiu sent me to pick you up."

"Thank you, Sister Daila."

"My Lord, can we go now?"

"Let's go."

Daila led Xiao Weiqing onto a private aircraft. The aircraft quickly took off and flew toward the inland of the Fourth Heaven.
